Robert Zemeckis
won an Academy Award®, a Golden Globe® and a Director’s Guild of
America® Award for Best Director for the hugely successful “Forrest
Gump.” Earlier in his career, Zemeckis co-wrote (with Bob Gale) and
directed “Back to the Future,” which was the top-grossing
release of 1985, and for which Zemeckis shared Oscar and Golden Globe®
nominations for Best Original Screenplay. He then went on to helm “Back
to the Future, Part II” and “Part III,” completing one of the most
successful film franchises ever. He also wrote
and directed the box office smash “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?,” cleverly
blending live action and animation. In 2004, Zemeckis produced and
directed the motion capture film “The Polar Express,” starring Tom
Hanks, followed by his second motion capture project
“Beowulf” in 2007 and “A Christmas Carol” in 2009. “Flight” marks his
latest live action film.
In
this action-packed mystery thriller, Academy Award®-winner Denzel
Washington stars as Whip Whitaker, a seasoned airline pilot, who
miraculously crash lands his
plane after a mid-air catastrophe, saving nearly every soul on board.
After the crash, Whip is hailed as a hero, but as more is learned, more
questions than answers arise as to who or what was really at fault and
what really happened on that plane. Don Cheadle,
Melissa Leo and John Goodman also star.
